I have a 2.2 evo, updated with the most recent ota update (after manual updating)
I know i should have just rooted 2.1 then flashed a 2.2 rom... but oh well.
No?
Have you tried SimpleRoot? That program was just recently updated I believe. Check the evo forums
No nothing works, I patiently wait monitoring tweets and forums of all relevant EVO info.
Have we been forgotten? There were a lot of early downloaders who borked their root with that HTC ota.., and many interested new EVO users.. tired of watching all of u tweekers play with roms and all that rooted goodness.... PLZ HELP US OBI-ONE, YOUR OUR ONLY HOPE....

I think we are the forgotten ones. Either that, or it is harder to crack than Al Capone's safe. This wait though has guaranteed me donating to whomever comes thru with it. I wish you could "unroot" the update.

why wouldn't you just root your evo? 2.3 has been out for a while, I'm using it on my sprint hero.. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for sprint to update to 2.3
I might be kicking a dead horse but I don't really like the design of the Echo; the idea is cool but the actual functionality might be lacking; for me anyway.
Having two screens will have a bigger rain on the battery and reviews have stated that the phone slows down a bit when simultaneously using different applications.

See I would root my evo but there is just so much work involved in acctualy getting to the point of flashing rom's and I don't know much about what I would have to do inorder to do it. Also I've only had it since December 1st and don't want to risk bricking it. Also from what I heard the GB roms are pretty unstable...

No, rooting is easy as pie, and CM7 is extremely stable.

It's almost impossible to brick an Evo, and I mean that. All you do to root is go to Unrevoked.com and download the application and run it with your phone connected. It's not hard at all. Flashing a ROM is as easy as downloading a ZIP file and putting it on your memory card, and then going into the recovery menu and choosing it. There's even protection built in that checks the integrity of the ZIP before flashing it, so if there's something wrong with it, it won't flash.
Anyways, when your run Unrevoked, it will root your phone and add a custom recovery image, but it won't flash a different ROM, so you have nothing to worry about.
unrevoked took 10 min on my phone, been flashing zips since jan 1
I got my Evo on September 1st, which I think was before Unrevoked was released (or at least before I knew about it). I did it the hard way. But after going through a bunch of replacement Evos, I've been using Unrevoked. I love how you can flash any recovery image you want with it.
Ok ill give it a shot but what do you guys recommend? Unrevoked forever or unrevoked 3? I don't know the difference... also how do you get clockwork recovery or whatever? Or is it not needed. Any help is very much appreciated.

Just download Unrevoked. Unrevoked Forever is included and is just the portion that sets your bootloader to S-OFF (allows you to flash other ROMS). It's completely reversible in case you need to take your phone in for repair or exchange. I'm saying this from experience.
After Unrevoked, download ROM Manger from the Market and go to town.

FYI, that's the "old" method that does NOT have S-OFF and you CANNOT load a custom recovery.
What is posted in the OP is apparently new and just done late last night. It allows S-OFF and loading of custom recoveries. That's different than what is posted in your link.
Not really sure what is happening at the moment....

Ha ha. No worries, everyone is excited about this. Just trying to keep people from getting confused!
What we know:
1) Originally, on March 18, they had a "dirty" perm-root method that required loading an old version of the software. This gave root, but no S-OFF and no way to load a custom recovery. There are instructions posted for this method.
2) Late last night, they managed to find a "new" root method and gives S-OFF and allows loading a custom recovery. This news is posted in the link in the OP of this thread. At this time, they have not yet posted the method for doing this. I expect we'll see it later today when they wake up. LOL
So patience guys and gals, we'll have FULL root, S-OFF, and custom recovery of our TBs very soon!

Anything that is faster than the ****ing root time on the Incredible is fine by me. That was a painful thing to wait for.
I have been following the developement on the andirc channel. these guys are amazing! As long as HTC's software policies remain what they are today, I will no longer be purchasing moto phones. I had to suffer through the DX's bootloader fiasco after coming from the OG D1. DX devs made it bearable, but custom kernals...no. Thanks for all the work jcase and company!
I'm a relative newb as far as hacking and even I got root + S-OFF + unlocked eMMC + Clockwork, etc working as per the rooting instructions updated today on AndroidPolice. It has been done and these guys and gals are that much more amazing for it.
The only question is: how the hell do you select an option in Clockwork recovery? On my Droid I could use the camera button, but here the Power, Home, and Menu button all just hide the menu. Vol keys only scroll. /confused
I haven't actually rooted mine yet as I'm a wuss and waiting for a one-click, but I read tonight that Kousch (sp?) already made an updated CWM to fix that issue on the TB. Maybe try updating via ROM Manager?

I'm right there with you, I rooted my D1 back before any of the oneclick solutions existed using the Motorola flashing software. I extremely tempted to try installing abd on my Linux machine and give it a shot but I'm a little scared too having never used adb before. And it seems that there's still. A few bugs to work out so I will let them get those straight. I'm hoping too one click root by Tuesday and ROM by months end. Hopefully on CM7.x
Also hi everyone! Been lurking here since I picked up the thunderbolt Thursday morning. Can't wait to crack this thing open. SenseUI is driving me nuts.
Rooted and removed bloat from my TB! I love it!
Hello Board Members. I just signed up today as I picked up my TB yesterday. I'm a former iPhone user (since 2009) and then went to Verizon for a Droid X. This new phone came out, so we dropped the X and went for the TB. Just my short intro to the Android world.
Anywho, for those that rooted the TB, was it a painless process? And the instructions posted on the AndroidPolice post (saw it in Google), do I run all of this from the TB or on the computer?
Is it any good?
Is there root for it, or a method to root that currently exists that'll work?
Any plans for a forum for this phone at all, anyone know?
Thanks!

*bump*
interested in this as well.... a nice looking slider on Verizon that's NOT a Moto? sign me up.
Rmarkwald - I read somewhere that there is at least temporary root using something called "visionary". I haven't bothered looking into it yet though.
Nope!
There is not currently a method of rooting the Merge.
There is however a way to get Temp Root through a program called Visionary.
Z 4 temp root also works!!!! Wondering if Desire CDMA rev x root through adb will work for the merge.... went around rev x n once I acquired root I ran revoked to finish..... just a thought but really want to figure this out. Pm me for help or an answer
after purchasing a new HTC Merge last weekend I promptly went foraging for Root and Roms. I was not dissapointed.
While the procedure for rooting the merge is complicated, I followed instructions I found at 2fastroms dot com and gained S=off using the superoneclick and goldcard method.
once rooted, I was pleased to discover that a leaked copy of the gingerbread 2.3.4 with HTC Sense 2.1 rom was available for download, so I went right ahead and installed that.
I have to say, I am very pleased with the performance of this phone with this operating system. gingerbread is blazing fast and the sense2.1 ui has some nice features as well. while there arent a lot of custom roms available out there, at least you can have gingerbread, which is more than other phones can say.
here it is, just released at US Cellular. the OFFICIAL 2.3.4 update right from the horses mouth!
Dont need to ROOT to install this!

Well, try installing Titanium Backup from market.. if when running it it ask you if allow it or not and it let you allow it it means that you are super user

You should've posted this in Q&A or General. This is the dev forum. (Just saying it before hand everyone else does)
But there are root methods. Since he just picked one up, it probably has 2.3 Gingerbread on there.
You will have to follow the Downgrade to froyo method. Then root using the GUI Tool. That's the only method for gingerbread.
Shifted from my EVO.
